PS i also did use the search function on the forum and can never seem to find the answer at least for me.

Hey inferno,

If you're having a problem unblocking a particular page, you can set the security level to LOW.

Change

Code: Select all

define('CT_SECLEVEL', 'MEDIUM');

to

Code: Select all

define('CT_SECLEVEL', 'LOW');

on every page you're having an issue with.

but wouldn't that be compromising security ??

[Helter]

there is a fine line between secure and unusable. For 99% of hack scripts available on the web LOW is fine. Always try MEDIUM first, but if it still wont allow you to make your edits, use LOW. If your concerned about it, you can replace LOW with MEDIUM after you finish your acp adjustments

You may have a problem though because it is giving you blank info for a few of your files like memberlist and index.php. do you have a link to the blank template mod?

If this is the same mod I used years ago with phpbb, i dont see the need for it because IMPortal allows you to do everything the blank template mod does.

Alright i changed those edits to low on all three files and same thing i'll keep trying.

I also noticed that the cback and php versions are outdate is there anyway to update these ?.

One last thing skelter mentioned importal being able to create blank template pages aswell just wondering how this can be done never heard of it or found it in the instructions.
